The live-action trailer for 'Fallout 4' is incredible

Sometimes, right before major video games come out, the company
making them puts out a live-action trailer.

Most of the time, these trailers are pretty weak. And sometimes —
rarely — they're super rad (we're looking at you, live-action
trailers for "Halo 3").

The latter, thankfully, is the case for the live-action "Fallout
4" trailer that went live on Thursday, a few weeks ahead of the
game's November 11 release on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and
PC.

That's just the opening scene! It's reminiscent of a clip from
the game itself, seen here:

The live-action trailer shows the game's (still unnamed) main
character exploring what "Fallout 4" (and previous "Fallout
games) calls "The Wasteland": the destroyed world, post-nuclear
apocalypse. It shows Radroaches (giant cockroaches mutated by
radiation), your floating companion Mister Handy (the metal robot
seen trimming the shrubs), power armor (the massive metal suit of
armor), and so much more, all in beautiful live-action.

If nothing else, it offers a delicious taste of what could be an
incredible film some day. Like everything "Fallout," it's
dripping with the series' unique retro-futuristic style.
